Before she even entered middle school, Brandi already had an impressive list of acting credits to her name. A Los Angeles native, Brandi got to start her acting career very young. She was born in the San Bernardino, CA area and lived her first few months of life there, but in late 1989 moved to and was raised in Santa Clarita, CA (30 minutes north of Los Angeles). After being featured on TV in a 1997 news segment about Christmas, Brandi discovered she loved being in front of the camera. When Brandi was 10, she started modeling, her first modeling gig being for Stein-Mart Stores. Her mother sent a snapshot of Brandi to Stein-Mart chain-stores' open casting call for child models. A week later, a Stein-Mart modeling scout called her mother saying they loved Brandi's look and for Brandi to be one of the main child models in their 1999 Back-to-School Fashion Show, to model Stein-Mart's kids clothes for the Fall 1999 season. One month later, Brandi appeared in an educational student film called "Grandma's Story". Brandi was also a published poet at age 9, as a poem she wrote about her Grandpa was published in the book "Celebrating Poetry written by Kids". Soon after that, Brandi's freckles and spunky, energetic personality caught the attention of a children's talent agent from the very well-known Daniel Hoff Talent Agency. They told her she looked like a little Julia Roberts. After signing with Daniel Hoff Talent Agency, 11-year-old Brandi got her first big break on TV when she did a popular TV commercial for Eggo Waffles. She was then invited to join SAG. Then, at age 12, Brandi did her first real play in an actual, real, professional-running theater. It was a production of "Into the Woods"(July 2001), directed by former Broadway actor Philip Arthur Ross. She again worked with Philip in other Los Angeles-area theatre productions such as the musical Bugsy Malone (played Captain Smolsky, August 2002), A Midsummer Night's Dream: The Musical (as Puck, Brandi's favorite part she played on stage, July '03, written by Wade Bradford), and Rebel Without a Cause (2004), all before the age of 16. In 2005 Brandi did a TV pilot for a Discovery Kids show, which never aired, and made her feature-length film debut at age 17 in the 2006 avant-garde movie "Greed" as wise-cracking, troubled teenager, Tabitha. It was on Netflix for 2 years. In her 11th grade year in high school, Brandi performed a scene for the LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) examinations and scored "proficient" (just two points away from the highest score possible) at the age of just 16. She was in Theatre and Choir all 4 years at her Santa Clarita high school. After appearing in a few more films from 2007-2009, Brandi played the quirky "Gillian" in the series "My Roommate Sam", and played the teenage prostitute in the movie Monday Morning, directed by Nat Christian. Brandi was cast on the Pro-Wrestling show Championship Wrestling from Hollywood as Ring-Girl Brandi from 2013-2014 alongside many pro-wrestlers such as Joey Ryan and even met Jake the Snake! Then, Brandi appeared in the film "Girlfriend Lies" as Wanda, opposite actor Tyler Ritter of the CBS show "The McCarthy's". Next, Brandi portrayed the part of Pearl Hart in the stage-reading of the play "Waiting Women" at the 2014 Women's Theatre Festival of Memphis. Brandi appeared on an episode of the popular TV court show "Supreme Justice with Judge Karen" as the hilarious role of Amelia Fosberg, another troubled, wise-cracking teenager (but this time, Brandi wasn't 17 in real life, she was 25!) You can see Brandi in the Lionsgate film "Smosh: The Movie" as one of the sexy girls in Anthony's dream. Brandi also does Voice-Overs. She is the voice of Selena Gomez, Madonna and Taylor Swift in the popular web-cartoon "Hyena House Brawl". She is also the voice of Sally Acorn and Nami in the popular web-cartoon "Cartoon Hookups". Brandi voiced the role of Princess Honey Combington in a pilot for Adult Swim "Candy Coated Cartoon Spectacular ". In Spring 2015, Brandi also originated the role of the Queen in the comedy play, "The Pre-Musketeers", a hilarious prequel to The Three Musketeers. Brandi was nominated for the Theatre's Goldie Awards as Best Supporting Actress in a Family show for her portrayal of the Queen. Brandi also put her body in quite the challenge when she was cast in the premiere of the spooky, eerie, immersive theatre play "Monsters Come Out at Night" at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre in April 2018. It was her most physically challenging play to date, as Brandi had to do a lot of dance movement and tough choreography. Brandi has 2 left feet so she didn't think she could do it. But somehow she did. And it was worth it as the play was nominated for "Best Choreography" in the L.A. Valley Theatre Awards. Brandi ran in the Miss. Santa Clarita Pageant when she was 18 and was crowned Miss Santa Clarita Spirit 2008. Brandi has done some more controversial roles as well. She was cast as the Racist Comic in the indie movie "Zidane Adams: The Black Blogger" and as Helga, a young stripper desperately trying to escape her brothel, in the movie "Blood Tulips", which premiered in England to a standing ovation. She is writing, producing, and starring the successful digital series "Creeper" which has had over 600,000 streams as of Fall 2021. Horror fans may recognize Brandi from the movie "Clickbait" where Brandi played the role of high-strung, nerdy book-nerd Emma, which earned Brandi winning "Best Supporting Actress in a Feature Film" at the San Diego Fantastic Film Festival in 2018, beating out 6 other film actresses who were also nominated, and "Best On-Screen Duo" shared with her co-star Colby Stewart at the Genre Blast Film Festival the same year. Brandi also has her own Sketch Comedy show on YouTube called "Weird Brandi" with over 1 million views, and regularly makes TikTok comedy videos. She also hosted a theatre podcast called "Theatre Puke" for a year. Brandi earned her Bachelor's degree in Communications from Concordia University-Irvine, a small, private university in Irvine, CA in 2013. She is the oldest of 2 daughters and is convinced she was born in the wrong decade. Some of the many things she enjoys doing is going to metal concerts, and 60s-80s cover band concerts, drinking a nice cup of iced coffee every morning, shopping for retro clothes, going to 50's pinup/rockabilly events, going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, admiring her celebrity crushes from afar whom all are dead or very elderly now, reading books about anything, watching old TV shows, and being obsessed with Europe and traveling to Europe. She comes heavily from a family of actors and performers, her cousin is actress Adelina Saldana, her uncle is comic book artist Carlos Saldana, and her aunt is actress/playwright Silvia Gonzalez S.
